Today’s ride was scheduled to be a 40 mile round trip to Dunsfold via Wisborough Green (WD40). I was a bit concerned about the weather as the forecast was mist and light rain.
Attending were me, Michael, Pete, Bob, Frank and Ken.
I had planned on 20 miles to lunch and 20 back.
We headed off over the golf course towards Rowhook and on through Rudgwick and down to Wisborough Green. We stopped there at 15 miles. According to my calculation we were making a good pace so I decided to go a bit slower. At 20 miles we were still 5 miles from the pub. I had got my distance wrong! So it was all systems go to make up lost time. We got to the pub at 12:20.
We did not have to order lunch as it had been pre-ordered which made life easier. The beer and the company was good so we headed off for home. Having over estimated the out journey I tried to cut the return distance.
Back through Cranleigh and right in Ewhurst took to the Walliswood turning where Michael left us. On towards Weare Street where Ken left us. Only four left so we headed towards Warnham where Frank left us.
The remaining three, Pete, Bob and I headed over the railway line at Warnham and over bypass into Horsham.
Total distance today was 45 miles and no mist or rain!

We are a group of cyclists in the Horsham and Crawley area belonging to the national Cyclists Touring Club (CTC). We meet every Sunday to cycle along the quiet lanes of West Sussex and Surrey and occasionally have days or weekends away to explore new areas. Each ride we try to produce a report on what we did and where we rode. This can give a good idea of the pleasure of riding in this beautiful part of the country as well as how easy it is to get around it by bike.
